變形金剛：超能爭霸戰 #31 大綱
原文為超能爭霸戰（Energon）的編劇西蒙弗曼（Simon Furman）在DW出版社倒閉多年後，在網誌上貼出的文章。一共#31~#36，而且36集就是超能爭霸戰漫畫的最後一集了。我慢慢翻，不知道什麼時候翻完。如果有人翻過可以告訴我，我超懶，哈哈。

Here’s the first bit of previously unseen/unpublished outline from the closing issues of Transformers: Energon. The first half of issue #31, “Doomsday Redux!”:
變形金剛超能爭霸戰 #31 「世界末日再臨！」
<<Six months later.
六個月後。
On Cybertron, Over-Run confides in an unseen listener. Hardwired into the planetary infrastructure/Hub Mainframe via the Mini-con Matrix, Over-Run has glimpsed the past and the future, a mute witness to Doomsday — times two! Over-Run recounts the destruction of Quintessa (though he doesn’t know the planet by name) by Unicron, thousands of years ago. And we see Alpha Quintesson, as was, scramble to save himself… and the future of the Quintesson race. He carries the Initiator (the device from #27). Over-Run can’t quite process the crush of imagery and information, but tells his solicitous listener he believes Cybertron was “seeded” and the harvest is now upon them.
在塞伯坦上，超速向一位看不見的傾聽者傾訴。透過星球內部基礎設施/集線中央主機連接迷你金剛領導模塊的固線，超速瞥見過去與未來，寂靜中目睹了世界末日——第二次！超速敘述了幾千年前，宇宙大帝對昆塔沙星（雖然他不知道這個星球的名字）的毀滅。接著我們看到阿法Q，一如既往，搶救他自己…及五面怪這個種族的未來。他帶著啟動器（#27出現的裝置）。超速不能夠處理破碎的意象及訊息，但是告訴他殷切的傾聽者，他相信塞伯坦曾經「播種」，而現在就要從他們身上收成了。
*譯註：Quintesson，雖然譯作「五面怪」，但也就是昆塔沙星人。
We cut to Alpha Quintesson (current). He instructs the recently upgraded (and promoted to Terrorcon commander-in-chief) Doom-Lock to continue the assault on Earth. Doom-Lock can’t see the point now the planetary shield is active, but Alpha Quintesson insists. From an unknown location, the Four Horsemen (Death, War, Famine & Pestilence) report that their work is done and they are returning to Unicron. But Alpha Quintesson insists they remain where they are. In response to their various objections, Alpha Quintesson counters that Megatron is “contained,” content to rebuild his Decepticon empire on Earth and Jetfire’s Autobots (without Optimus Prime) have little recourse to their ‘spark of combination’ and are forced to use artificial constructs (we glimpse Omega Supreme under construction).
我們鏡頭切回阿法Q（現在）。他指示最近升級（並提拔為恐懼獸總司令）的爆鎖繼續攻擊地球。阿法Q堅持，即使爆鎖無法看到這個時間點上的行星神盾已經啟用。在未知地帶，四騎士（死亡、戰爭、饑餓和瘟疫）回報它們的工作已經完成，正在返回宇宙大帝。但是阿法Q堅持要他們留在原處。為了回應他們的反對意見，阿法Q反駁說，威震天是「計畫內」，內容是在地球上重建他的霸天虎帝國和讓天火的汽車人（不包含擎天柱）能夠小小求助他們的「組合火種」並使用在人造機構上（我們瞥見大力金剛正在建造）。
Back on Cybertron, Over-Run describes his glimpse of the future. We see: the Initiator launched from Cybertron in a special rocket; a portal open and Quintesson ships emerge, raining down death and destruction on Cybertron; and an orbital structure with a figure inside. Over-Run senses that the invaders don’t simply want to conquer Cybertron, they want to “bend Cybertron to their will.”>> ((More soon))
回到塞伯坦，超速描述了他對未來的一瞥。我們看到：啟動器從塞伯坦上發射了一枚特殊火箭；一個傳送門開啟，五面怪的飛船湧現，在塞伯坦降下死亡與毀滅；一個內部有數字的軌道結構出現。超速意識到入侵者不是單純要征服塞伯坦，而是要讓「塞伯坦屈服於他們的意志」。（（還有更多））
And here’s the second half of #31’s outline:
這裡是#31的下半部大綱：
Earth: and in the desert Kicker is battling five airborne foes — using his energon powers to both defend himself and counterattack. Overconfident, Kicker is caught unawares by the unexpected versatility of his attackers and only just manages to deflect the final attack. It’s an AlterEnergy training exercise, overseen by Rad and Doctor Jones (Kicker’s father). Both are concerned that Kicker is not taking the threat to him seriously. Twice now he’s been actively targeted, and though both abduction attempts were thwarted they anticipate further attempts to capture him. They need to understand more about Kicker’s powers to know why the Terrorcons want him so badly, but Kicker is tired of jumping through their hoops and stalks off.
地球：在沙漠中，奇克正在與五位空降敵人作戰——使用他的超能量能力一邊保護自己一邊反擊。
因為過於自信，奇克沒有意識到敵人意料之外多變的攻擊，只能勉強偏移最後一擊。這是一場超能源操演練習，由瑞德和瓊斯博士（奇克的父親）監督。兩人都擔心奇克沒有嚴肅對待這個威脅。到現在，他已經兩次成為敵人的積極目標，雖然兩次綁架企圖都未得手，他們預計會有更進一步的行動來捕抓奇克。他們需要更了解奇克的能力，好知道恐懼獸為什麼迫切想要他，但是奇克已經厭倦他們看似不必要的難關並拖著步伐。
Cybertron: Over-Run is deep in past events, and we see Alpha Quintesson urgently calling for something called ‘the Conduit’, but before it can be brought to him for safekeeping, it’s destroyed. As Alpha Quintesson’s escape ship is pulled back into Unicron, he just manages to teleport the Initiator to… someone.
塞伯坦：超速陷入過去的事件，然後我們看到阿法Q迫切呼叫一個叫作「管道」的東西，但在它被帶去給他保護之前，被摧毀了。當阿法Q的逃生船被宇宙大帝拉過去時，他只能勉強將啟動器傳送出去給…某個人。
Back to Kicker, who decides it’s time he hit the road. He tries to flag down a passing heavy load carrier but suddenly it transforms and attacks. It’s Demolishor!
回到奇克，他決定是時候上路了。他試圖揮手停下一台路過的重載機具，但它突然變形攻擊。是毀滅者！
Finally, on Cybertron, Over-Run confesses a nagging fear that someone on Cybertron is a traitor, and the unseen listener is revealed as none other than Avalon — Autobot High Councillor and Alpha Quintesson’s secret collaborator!!!
最後，在塞伯坦上，超速坦言了一個令人揮之不去的恐懼，就是塞伯坦上的某人是叛徒，而那個看不見的傾聽者亦被揭露出來，不是別人而正是阿瓦隆——汽車人最高委員和阿法Q的秘密合作者！！！
To be continued…
